4.2 Ethernet FTP Upload Procedure
Follow the steps provided in this section. Once the upload is complete, the KPA’s top-level
display screen will appear (for more information, see
Chapter 5. FRONT PANEL
OPERATION ) as shown in Step 10 of this procedure.
Note: This procedure is applicable to KPA-040/-080/-100 production units featuring the J8 10/100
ETHERNET connector on the rear panel. For the KPA-020IN, FTP Upload is accomplished via
Telnet / HyperTerminal configured as Telnet Client using the KPA-020IN’s J6 COM1 serial port.
See Chapter 6. KPA ETHERNET MANAGEMENT for further information.
Step Procedure
1 Identify the reflashable product, firmware number, and version for download:
The current base unit M&C version can be viewed at the top level display on the KPA front
panel (press the
CLEAR key several times to view). The firmware information can also be
found within the Utility: Firmware
Æ
Boot menu tree. For more information, refer to
Chapter 5. KPA FRONT PANEL OPERATION .
Alternately, when using the Web Server Interface, the Bootrom, Bulk, App, and FPGA
firmware loads may be viewed in the
Firmware Information section of the Status | Status
page. For more information, refer to Chapter 6.5 Web Server (HTTP) Interface .
2 Create a temporary folder (directory) on an external M&C PC:
•
For Windows Explorer: Select File > New > Folder to create a new folder, then
rename it from “ New Folder ” to " temp " or another convenient, unused name.
Assuming " temp " works, a " c:\temp " folder should now be created.
Note: The drive letter c: is used in this example. Any valid writable drive letter
can be used.
•
For Windows Command-line: Click [Start] on the Windows taskbar, then click
the “ Run... ” icon (or, depending on Windows OS versions prior to Windows 95,
click the “ MS-DOS Prompt ” icon from the Main Menu). Then, to open a
Command-line window…
o
For Windows 95 or Windows 98 – Type “ command ”.
o
For any Windows OS versions later than Windows 98 – Type “ cmd ” or
“ command ”.
Alternately, from [Start], select All Programs > Accessories > Command
Prompt .
At the Command-line prompt (c:\>), type “ mkdir temp ” or “ md temp ” (without
quotes – mkdir and md stand for make directory ). This is the same as creating a
new folder from Windows Explorer. There should now be a " c:\temp " subdirectory
created (where c: is the drive letter used in this example).
